The Plot Sickens

So, it turns out that Ms. Rowland -- the woman who refused a Caesarian because she didn't want scars, thus dooming one of her unborn twins -- had apparently been using drugs before and/or during her pregnancy. Word comes that the still-born twin had drugs in its system, including cocaine.

Looks like someone's not up for Mother Of The Year. This could strenthen Utah's case of homicide against her, as drug use would be prima facia evidence of depraved indifference. Let's see if they have the nerve to go forth with it.
